Los Angeles, Feb 11 (UITV/IANS) Late Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell was given a Grammy here for his song "When bad does good" from the eponymous box set released last year. It marks his third Grammy win.

His children Toni and Christopher accepted the award on February 10 night. Cornell's widow Vicky Cornell also attended the ceremony, like last year, reports variety.com.

Daughter Toni honoured her father earlier in the day on the red carpet by wearing a shirt with his portrait on it.

Following the win, she told reporters "it was sad he couldn't be there to accept it for something he was so proud of and worked so hard on. At the same time, we're so proud of him. It was bittersweet."

"When bad does good" features lyrics in light of the singer's suicide in May of 2017.
